Beyond The Immortal

Ch.8 - Against the Golden Core

Ye Yuan did not expect to fall into someone's trap.

He was now surrounded by 5 early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

'To be chased by 5 Golden Core cultivators, what exactly did that girl do? Ah well, I better finish this matter first.'

Ye Yuan channeled energy into his forehead to remove the formation symbols stuck there.

Finally, the five people surrounding him were able to see Ye Yuan's true appearance. That's how it should be, right? When they saw that Ye Yuan was not the person they were after, the five cultivators should be shocked, right?

But why did they look so ordinary? Was it true that he hadn’t released the formation? But Ye Yuan was sure that he had released the formation.

"Hey, look carefully, I'm not the person you're looking for? The girl went that way.” Ye Yuan pointed at the direction where the masked girl left.

“Hm! We won’t be fooled by your cheap tricks again!”

Ye Yuan paused for a moment then smiled wryly as he realized the situation. It seemed like these five people had been tricked many times by the masked girl with her ability to change her appearance.

That was why they were not surprised when they saw Ye Yuan with his true appearance, they thought that the masked girl had changed her appearance to become Ye Yuan.

‘Damn girl! I’ll really beat her up if I see her again!’ Ye Yuan was really pissed off. “Looks like there’s no other choice, come on, I’ll beat you all up!”

Even though his cultivation was below the enemy, Ye Yuan did not show any expression of fear at all.

One of the enemies charged forward. Ye Yuan jumped.

Yin-Yang Sword! Falling Moon Slash!

Seeing the energy wave, he could feel that the energy contained was not that great, it would be easy for him to ward off.

Using his spear, the man deflected the Yin-Yang energy. But when his weapon came into contact with the energy..

*Boom!!

The Yin-Yang energy immediately exploded violently, sending him flying and crashing to the ground, some of his clothes destroyed, and he suffered severe burns on his face and stomach.

He had no idea that the explosion from the attack would be so powerful, causing him to be seriously injured due to being unprepared to withstand the explosion.

“Brother Yi!”

“I just happen to want to try out my new technique, fighting you Golden Core cultivators will be a good test!” Ye Yuan landed right in the middle of them.

Yin-Yang Sword!

Yin-Yang energy enveloped Ye Yuan's sword as if burning with black and white flames.

Fire Cloud Ring!

Ye Yuan performed a 360° rotating slash, creating a ring-shaped Yin-Yang energy wave that rapidly expanded.

“Dodge! Don’t block that attack!” One of them shouted.

They immediately jumped away, until the distance between them became even greater.

“Opportunity!” Ye Yuan took a stance, his gaze fixed on one of the enemies.

Yin-Yang Sword! Triangle of Death!

Ye Yuan made a swift movement, heading towards one point behind the enemy, then made the same swift movement to head towards another point, forming a triangle.

Ye Yuan’s movements were so fast that he left afterimages where he stopped, making it seem like he was in three places at once.

Ye Yuan's three figures performed a horizontal slash, sending out a wave of Yin-Yang energy.

Attacks from 3 directions at once, his opponent could see it, but he didn't have time to react to dodge because it was too fast.

He could only block the attack in the end, but that was the wrong choice.

*BOOM!!

As he blocked the Yin-Yang energy wave, it exploded with great force, many times more force than before.

The remaining 3 people could only stay in place with their mouths open. The explosion was too powerful to be caused by a Silver Core cultivator.

From the smoke from the explosion, a shadowy figure could be seen within it, the shadow walked out until Ye Yuan was seen dragging his badly injured enemy in an unconscious state.

“Two down.” Ye Yuan threw his opponent's body forward. “There are 3 left.”

Ye Yuan now held a real sword, which he got from the opponent he had defeated.

“Bastard! Attack him together!”

The three of them were so angry because two of their friends were killed.

They advanced simultaneously, launching energy slashes from a distance.

Ye Yuan dodged all the attacks easily and then counterattacked.

Yin-Yang Sword! Sky Sword!

Ye Yuan launched an attack towards one of the opponents.

They already knew the destructive effects of Ye Yuan’s attack, so they immediately avoided it.

Ye Yuan stamped his foot on the ground, causing several rocks to be lifted up. He also kicked all the stones towards the two opponents.

Just rocks, this time they repelled them all with their weapons.

But what they didn't know was that all of the stones had Yin-Yang energy in them, so when they slashed the stones..

*Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rocks exploded, but because the energy within them was so little, it only caused a small explosion, but it was enough to stop both of their movements.

'How can he infuse his energy into a rock just by kicking it?'

They were both confused because what Ye Yuan did was very unusual.

Finally, only one opponent reached where Ye Yuan was standing. They exchanged sword strikes at close range.

'Against a Golden Core stage cultivator like this, both my strength and speed are no match, so..' Ye Yuan was aware of his own low strength.

Apart from cultivation, he had also only trained his body for only 1 month, so to match the Golden Core was impossible.

Immortal Breathing Technique!

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, drawing in all the natural energy within a short distance, channeling it into both arms to strengthen each slash and both legs to strengthen balance.

Moreover, Ye Yuan’s speed also increased.

This breathing technique could indeed increase Ye Yuan’s speed and strength, but only for a short period of time.

Ye Yuna's opponent was shocked to see her increase in power, leaving her opponent with many openings.

Ye Yuan made good use of it, he managed to deliver a slash to his opponent's chest.

The man wanted to jump away after being slashed, but Ye Yuan's hand had already touched his abdomen.

Yin-Yang Footprint!

The Yin-Yang energy that erupted from Ye Yuan’s hands exploded.

“Gouhk!” The man vomited a lot of blood, his insides felt like they were being squeezed from the inside.

He was thrown hard towards his 2 friends. Both of them immediately caught him so he wouldn't hit the ground hard.

'Ugh.. my body is still weak, just one breath makes my whole body cramp.' Ye Yuan felt the side effects of the Immortal Breathing Technique.

‘I can’t show that I’m weak now, otherwise the two of them will definitely attack me right away.’ Ye Yuan smiled widely, as if he was still full of energy and did not show any weakness at all.
